NORWALK — The Serra boys basketball team was in trouble late against Campbell Hall in the Take Flight Challenge at Cerritos College on Saturday.

The Cavaliers were down three with less than a minute play, but that’s when junior Doctor Bradley and senior Kobe Smith took over.

Bradley forced a missed shot on defense and grabbed the rebound pushing it up the court. He then found Smith open in the right corner and made a perfect pass to him and Smith did the rest burying a game-tying 3-pointer with 46 seconds to play.

Seconds later, Smith stole a Campbell Hall pass and had a chance to win the game, but his jumper was too strong, sending the game to overtime.

In overtime, Bradley scored the first six points and then Smith got another steal and dunk to help Serra (12-4) take an eight-point lead and an eventual 68-65 victory.

“It was definitely a tough game. It came down to defense at the end and our team played tougher defense, which got us the win,” said Smith, who had 17 points and five steals before fouling out in the final minutes of overtime. “With our work in the gym, shots like that, I’m going to make them.”

Bradley scored 28 points and had six assists, which earned him Player of the Game honors, and was pleased with the victory, but he said he is looking ahead to next week when Serra starts Del Rey League play.

“This was a good win for us to get, but we are trying to get ready for Bishop (Montgomery) on Wednesday. That will be a big game,” Bradley said. “We had to come out and play harder in the fourth quarter. I knew that Kobe was going to hit that shot. I have total confidence in him. Going into overtime, we knew we got them. I knew we were going to win.”

Serra seemed to be in control in the third quarter, going on an 8-0 run to take a 39-29 with four minutes to play. But that’s when Campbell Hall (13-4) mounted a comeback, going on a 17-1 run led by the 3-point shooting of Kyle Beedon.

Beedon hit three 3-point shots to help the Vikings take a 46-40 lead with seven minutes to play. Beedon ended the game with 16 points.

However, Smith scored seven points and Bradley 10 in the final six minutes of the fourth quarter to bring Serra back.
